gg sans causes eye strain

The new gg sans font is difficult to read and causes eye strain, not just to me but to my friends and it seems several other users in the forums have also complained about this. I find it feels weirdly large and the letters feel awkwardly spaced and strangely sharp, and all in all it makes my eyes hurt trying to read it, like I can't focus on the letters. I imagine this effect is much worse for those who have dyslexia or otherwise sensitivity to lights and colors.

I would really like an option to change the font back to the previous font or to select a custom font from the computer.

  Seconded, I just encountered it for the first time and I loathe it, but you described the effects perfectly.

  Yes, this font looks beyond horrible, they should have just used Ubuntu...

  not dyslexic, but *i* do have reading difficulties that can be exacerbated by font choices and so on. gg sans is physically painful.

  the characters of the font itself are easy to read and actually very nice but the font itself is kerned incorrectly (spacing between certain letters and characters do not optically match each other), making it harder to read and causing eye strain.

  maybe discord should finish polishing its new fonts before releasing them into the open and hurting everyone's eyes /shrug

  Agreed. The different letter spacing, the weird ligatures, and the unnecessary extra serifs make the font a lot harder and more confusing to read.

  The new font is harder to read and strains my eyes a lot more.
